In 1905, Ambard and Beaujard1) found that the administration of NaCl to the patients with hypertension produced a further increase in blood pressure and the restriction of salt resulted in a fall of blood pressure in these patients. Since then, many studies have been attempted to in vestigate the participation of sodium chloride in the occurrence of hyper tension. Dahl2) investigated the daily ...

Hypothermia, as used for organ preservation in transplantation medicine, is generally supposed to lead to an intracellular accumulation of sodium, and subsequently of chloride, via inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase. However, on studying the cellular sodium concentration of cultured liver endothelial cells using fluorescence microscopy, we found a 55% decrease in the cellular sodium concentration ...

Nickel based alloys have been developed as materials offering superior corrosion fatigue. The fatigue performance of IN600, IN601 and C22 was examined in increasing saline solution severity of 3.5% sodium chloride at pH = 6.8. Results of fatigue and corrosion fatigue tests indicate that the fatigue lives of IN600, IN601 and C22 tested in 3.5 % sodium chloride solution (NaCl) are essentially the...
